My Story

The Event

The Cause

My Supporters

I've registered for the 2017 Toyota Flyers Charity Classic Run Walk Ride event to benefit the Flyers Charities and Flyers Alumni Association. The event will take place on July 16 beginning at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.

For over 40 years, Flyers Charities has raised more than $30 million to support a multitude of worthy non-profit organizations across the Greater Philadelphia Region that provide educational and recreational resources to underserved youth, engage important medical and healthcare research, and positively influence the community. These organizations include the Center for Autism, the Ed Snider Youth Hockey Foundation, Fox Chase Cancer Center, Liberty USO, Mission Kids, PAWS, Ronald McDonald House of Philadelphia, and Simon’s Fund.

Founded in 1984 as the Philadelphia Legends, the non-profit Flyers Alumni Association has raised approximately $14 million for a variety of charitable, civic, educational, and other worthy causes that directly benefit those in need throughout the Philadelphia metropolitan area, including St. John's Hospice, Ronald McDonald House Southern New Jersey, March of Dimes, and Junior Achievement of Delaware. In 2016, the Flyers Alumni announced a new initiative to honor the late Ed Snider by building a new community ice rink. Working together with the Ed Snider Youth Hockey Foundation, the Alumni have pledged to raise $2 million toward the construction and completion of what will be called the Edward M. Snider Ice Rink.

I hope you'll consider making a donation of any amount to help me reach my fundraising goal! You can learn more about this great event at www.PhiladelphiaFlyers.com/CharityClassic.

Toyota Flyers Charity Classic

Join the Toyota Flyers for a new Philadelphia-wide event this July, the Toyota Flyers Charity Classic! Hit the street on feet or bike and stay active this summer as families, athletes, and Flyers fans of all ages ride, walk, or run down Broad Street and beyond.

Participants can choose to take part in one of four different events:

· 5K Walk/Run - Runners and walkers will start at the Wells Fargo Center complex and run through the scenic Navy Yard, returning to the Wells Fargo Center to cross the finish line.

· 10-Mile Family Bike Ride - Riders will begin by biking from the Wells Fargo Center complex to Broad Street, cycling up to and around City Hall before passing by Logan Square and the Philadelphia Museum of Art along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. Bikers will then ride along the Schuylkill River Trail until they hit South Street, eventually returning to Broad Street, en route to the Wells Fargo Center.

· 50K Bike Ride - Cyclists will start their ride at the Wells Fargo Center complex and travel north on Broad Street to and around City Hall, passing Logan Square and the Philadelphia Museum of Art as they continue down the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. Cyclists will then continue the ride on Martin Luther King Drive until they hit Fairmount Park and pedal towards Bala Cynwyd before reaching the halfway point at West Mill Creek Park. On the way back to South Philadelphia, riders will travel alongside the Schuylkill River via Main Street in Manayunk, Martin Luther King Drive, and the Schuylkill River Trail, until they turn on South Street, finally returning to the Wells Fargo Center.

· 100K Bike Ride - Participants will pedal out of the Wells Fargo Center complex and hit Broad Street, traveling north to and around City Hall, before riding down the Benjamin Franklin Parkway to pass the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Riders will then continue along Martin Luther King Drive before cutting through Fairmount Park. From there, the route will lead out to Malvern before looping back around past Villanova and across the Schuylkill River into Manayunk. Crossing back over the river at Kelly Drive, participants will follow the Schuylkill all the way to South Street, ultimately returning to Broad Street to make their return to the Wells Fargo Center.

Funds raised from the Toyota Flyers Charity Classic will benefit Flyers Charities and the Flyers Alumni Association. Both organizations support a multitude of worthy non-profits across the Greater Philadelphia Region.
